The foundation of the caliphal capital Baghdad in 762 initiated a period that is often glorified as the “Golden Age of Islam”. This course will focus the cultural history of the city up to the conquest by the Mongols in 1258, but we also want to look at the Ottoman period and after. Which myths surround the city? What do we know about the urban topography? Which central buildings adorned the city? Which ethnic and religious groups lived there and how was their coexistence? What significance had educational institutions, libraries, booksellers, patrons and literary salons? What was the role of the caliph's court, the bureaucracy, and soldiers? How did scholars, writers and poets describe the city? close
